Optera Data’s approach could integrate with existing optical disc formats. This compatibility could help with the tech’s adoption in data centers where reducing energy consumption and storage ...

However, reports in the Japanese media suggest the industrial giant will “gradually cease production of optical disc storage media,” including Blu-Ray products. Regardless, for now ...

The traditional approach to this problem was to spatially modulate a laser beam with an image of ~one million bits, record a hologram of this image, then use Bragg selectivity to record subsequent ...

A storage system that contains multiple optical drives that read and write the media simultaneously. Libraries may hold one disc per drive or have storage for any number of discs or cartridges ...

Using 3D storage techniques, scientists at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology developed an optical disk capable of accommodating 1.6 petabits of data (that's 1.6 million gigabits).

Two-photon technology, which relies on overlapping light beams, can be used for three-dimensional multilayer storage and promises capacities of up to 10 Tbyte on a DVD-size disk. Today's optical ...

The case, which stems from allegations that Quanta Storage and six other companies artificially inflated the prices of optical disk drive sold to HP from 2003 to 2009, means Quanta Storage may ...

the milestone of 1 terabyte per disk. Despite the high expectations for plasmonic data storage, Mansuripur believes that the first optical storage products to hit the market will be read-only ...

Magnetic storage makes use of a magnetisable coating ... Be more robust - a magnetic disk could be ruined by dropping it, because its moving parts may be damaged.

A direct access storage device that is written and read by light. The most common types are CD, DVD and Blu-ray. As removable media, optical discs superseded the earlier magnetic disk cartridges ...
